6 Seeing [ei per] it is a righteous thing [dikaios] with [para] God [theos] to recompense [antapodidomi] tribulation [thlipsis] to them that trouble [thlibo] you; [humas]KJV-Interlinear
6 For
after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict
you, NASB
One day in the future,
there will be a judgment.Whether you
believe it or not, is irrelevant.Unfortunately too many folks do not believe
in the judgment from God, simply because there doesn t seem to be any judgment
against the wicked, now.
And, even worse, too
many folks have no clue as to just what evil really is.They do not realize that they are an integral
part of evil, but see themselves as nice and pleasant, and reasonable.
Rather than examining
the scriptures by means of a daily study, in order to really know what truth is
or is not,folks simply reject the
Bible, and take the word of the news media, of politicians, of celebrities, of
the lyrics of some popular song, and so forth, and use those ideas to form
their beliefs and lifestyle.
This leads to all
manner of compromise of Biblical principles, to all sorts of anti-truth
philosophies, to crusades, to radical practices, to activist pursuits
attempting to force standards or beliefs on society, not to mention crime,
tyranny, or alternative lifestyles that become an acceptable norm in society.
Evil does not belong
only to the bad guy with the beady eyes and the scar on the face, but most of
the worlds evil comes from the do-gooders, the crusaders, the activists, the
ones who wish to force their standards onto everyone, and thus causing the
suffering and trouble that we all have to deal with in life.
Long ago, the world
went from the Garden to the Flood in a little over 1600 years.The nation of Israel went from its all time
spiritual high under Solomon, into devastation in just a few hundred
years.But in our current day, those
centuries over which time, changes occurred, are now measured in decades.Changes occur more rapidly now, than ever
before.
And as changes and evil
develop more rapidly now, the day of Gods judgment advances on humanity more
rapidly.However, people still disregard
the idea of judgment, just as they disregard Gods role in history.And thus, the spiritual state of the world diminishes.
There are far too many
things to occupy our time and attention.Bible study just is not one of the priorities of most folks.If you are not pursuing a daily study of the
Bible, if you are not current on your confession of sin to God the Father, if
you do not reside within the fellowship sphere, if you do not even know what
that is, then you are a part of the problem, and judgment is on the calendar
specifically for you.You just do not
realize it or you don t care, or you don t believe it applies to you.
But because there is
evil, because there is self-righteousness, because there is a definite lack of
humility, because there exists a spiritually dysfunctional society, then
judgment is right, is necessary and will occur.
One day you will leave
this world.One day you will either die,
or be taken away in the Rapture, or you will be left behind (if you are an
unbeliever), and the shock of truth will hit you right between the eyes, so to
speak.But it will be too late for you
to change once you have left this world.
While you are alive here
and now, your opportunity to pursue your spiritual life, in accordance with
Gods design (not yours), is readily available.You just have to begin and continue your daily studies, and realize that
your ideas are most likely wrong and Gods ideas are right.And, it is you who has to change, not God.
And, realize with
certainty, that there will be a judgment just as there will be a reward, the
question is, In which line will you be standing?
Life is a serious matter.The judgment to come is serious just as the
rewards to come are serious. They both will affect your entire eternal
life.Indifference, jokes, scoffing and
such will not get you on track in your life.Only a dedicated and genuine desire to learn Gods truth will get your
life together, making you a whole and complete person, with meaning and
purpose.
Now is the time to post a prayer.
End Of Lesson
Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
